Hunter for a Day
I took some video of my ride today. We are definitely making progress on the horse trot vs. the pony trot, which is good.
Since she was going pretty well today and the arena footing was good, I decided to trot her over some cross rails while I had the video available. I’ve been told her jump is cute and wanted to see if it was true.
She does have a cute front end:
She wasn’t doing much more than stepping over the jumps, so it’s hard to judge the jump itself. I think it has the potential to be pretty decent, though.
However, I’m pretty clearly at the limits of what I can do—I stayed out of her way, but my position makes me cry and I certainly wasn’t helping her any. Although, to be honest, I need more help than she does.
So, the next step is to get some lessons for me. And then—well. We’ll just have to see what happens then, eh?

Ya’ll are so far away. Still, looks good to me.
